Question

Teacher: Where have you been up to now? Student: I have missed the school bus, sir. Change the following exchange into reported speech.​

Answer 1

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.

In case of order, the pattern for converting direct speech to reported speech is verb + indirect object + to-clause.

The indirect object is the person spoken to. Verbs in case of order can be command, order, warn, forbid.

Thus, the sentence would be - The teacher forbade the student to talk nonsense.
